Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of ethanolamines and / or ethyleneamines starting from monoethylene glycol.
- EDA ethylenediamine
- EDA can be prepared by reacting 1, 2 dichloroethane with ammonia with elimination of HCl (EDC method).
- EDC method Another large-scale process for the preparation of EDA is the reaction of monoethanolamine (MEA) with ammonia in the presence of amination catalysts (MEA process).
- EDA monoethylene glycol
- MEA is produced industrially by reacting ethylene oxide (EO) and ammonia.
- EO ethylene oxide
- ammonia As a rule, a reaction mixture is formed which, in addition to MEA, also contains higher ethanolamines, such as diethanolamine (DEOA) and triethanolamine (TEOA).
- DEOA diethanolamine
- TEOA triethanolamine
- Ethylene oxide is a highly flammable gas which can form explosive mixtures with air.
- the handling of EO is correspondingly expensive.
- the production of MEA thus requires a technically complex EO plant with subsequent purifying distillation.
- MEG can be produced both on the basis of petrochemical raw materials and on the basis of renewable raw materials.
- Petrochemically MEG is also produced from EO by reaction with water. As with the reaction of EO with ammonia, it can not be prevented when reacting EO with water that already formed MEG can react with EO to form by-products, such as di- and triethylene glycol.
- the selectivity of MEG is about 90% and is thus significantly higher than the selectivity of MEA, which is usually 70-80%.
- Schell's omega process significantly increased the selectivity for MEG to approximately 99%. In the omega process, EO is converted with CO2 into ethylene carbonate, which is selectively hydrolyzed to MEG in the second step.
- MEG can also be synthesized via the synthesis gas route, e.g. by oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyloxalate and its subsequent hydrogenation.
- synthesis gas route e.g. by oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyloxalate and its subsequent hydrogenation.
- natural gas or coal for the production of MEG are therefore eligible.
- MEG may also be made from renewable resources such as corn or sugarcane by fermentation to ethanol, followed by dehydration to ethene and subsequent reaction with oxygen to produce ethylene oxide. Due to the many production variants, the availability of MEG is generally high, which generally has a positive effect on the raw material costs.
- CN 102 190 588 describes the one-stage conversion of MEG and ammonia in the presence of Cu-containing catalysts.
- the reaction pressure is according to the description in a range of 3 to 30 bar.
- the reaction temperature is in the range of 150 to 350 ° C.
- the reaction of MEG with ammonia in the gas phase is disclosed on catalysts comprising Cu and Ni as main components and Zr, Zn, Al, Ti, Mn and Ce as a minor component.
- the composition of the resulting reaction mixtures was not disclosed.
- reaction of MEG with ammonia and hydrogen can also be carried out in the liquid phase.
- reaction behavior of catalysts in the gas and liquid phase usually differs considerably, so that conclusions about the reaction behavior of MEG in the gas phase on the reaction behavior of MEG in the liquid phase are generally not permitted.
- oligomers such as diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethylenetetramine (TETA) and polymers in the case of dihydric alcohols.
- DETA diethylenetriamine
- TETA triethylenetetramine
- PIP piperazine
- No. 3,137,730 discloses the reaction of MEG with ammonia in the liquid phase at temperatures of 200-300 ° C. and pressures above 1000 psig (about 69 bar) of Cu / Ni catalysts.
- DE 1 172 268 discloses the reaction of ethylene glycol with catalysts containing at least one of the metals Cu, Ag, Mn, Fe, Ni and Co.
- MEG was reacted with ammonia at 180 ° C and a pressure of 300 bar in the presence of hydrogen on a cocatalyst.
- the Chinese application CN 106607060 A discloses catalysts for the amination of MEG in the liquid phase.
- WO 2007/093514 discloses a two-stage process for the preparation of EDA, wherein in the first process stage the amination is carried out on a hydroamination catalyst up to a maximum MEA conversion of 40% and in the second process stage a supported Ru / Co catalyst moldings is used with a small geometry and the second stage is carried out at a temperature at least 10 ° C higher than the first stage of the process.
- the product streams obtained in the processes described are generally separated by distillation for the purpose of pure recovery of individual products, in particular the particularly desired products EDA and DETA.
- WO 2007/093555 discloses that the work-up by distillation of the reaction products from the MEG reaction is problematical, since MEG and DETA form an azeotrope which is virtually independent of pressure and therefore can not be separated by pressure swing distillation.
- the azeotropic composition is about 44 wt .-% MEG and 56 wt .-% DETA and has at 150 mbar a boiling point of 154 ° C, compared to the boiling point of pure MEG of 144 ° C or from pure DETA of 142 ° C, in each case at the above-mentioned pressure of 150 mbar.
- WO 2007/093555 therefore discloses a process for the distillative separation of a product stream from the MEG reaction, in which one stage of the separation sequence is carried out as extractive distillation with triethylene glycol (TEG) from selective solvent for DETA.
- TEG triethylene glycol
- the bottom stream from the extractive distillation column K-III containing DETA-loaded selective solvent is preferably fed to a desorption column K-IV, and separated therein into a top stream containing DETA and a bottoms stream containing TEG.
- the TEG-containing bottom stream from the column K-IV is preferably recycled to the extractive distillation column K-III.
- the object of the present invention was to provide a process for preparing ethylene amines and / or ethanolamines, which is particularly resource-efficient with respect to the starting materials, energy and consumables used, in particular washing liquids.
- the object of the present invention was achieved by a
- step 2 2) separating hydrogen and ammonia from the effluent of step 1, characterized in that the separation of hydrogen and ammonia in step 2 comprises the steps of:
- step 2-2 transferring the gaseous phase from step 2-1) via one or more condensers, whereby one or more liquid phases are obtained, in which ammonia is enriched, and a gaseous phase is obtained, in which hydrogen is enriched, 2-3) contacting the gaseous phase from step 2-2) with MEG to obtain a liquid phase containing MEG and ammonia and obtaining a gaseous phase containing hydrogen and optionally ammonia.
- the present method differs from the prior art in that the ammonia separation was redesigned, so that a particularly resource-efficient method could be achieved.

- MEA monoethanolamine
- NMEDA N-methylethylenediamine

- pressures are based on absolute pressure.
- the invention can be carried out as follows.
- MEG is reacted in the presence of ammonia, hydrogen and a heterogeneous catalyst.
- ethylene glycol preference is given to using technical ethylene glycol having a purity of at least 98%, and very particularly preferably ethylene glycol having a purity of at least 99% and very particularly preferably of at least 99.5%.
- the ethylene glycol used in the process can be made from ethylene available from petrochemical processes. So usually in a first stage ethene oxidized to ethylene oxide, which is subsequently reacted with water to form ethylene glycol. However, the ethylene oxide obtained can also be converted in the so-called omega process with carbon dioxide to ethylene carbonate, which can then be hydrolyzed to ethylene glycol with water.
- the omega process is characterized by a higher selectivity for ethyleneglycol, as fewer by-products, such as di- and triethylene glycol arise.
- ethene can also be made from regrowing raw materials.
- ethene can be formed by dehydration of bio-ethanol.
- Ethylene glycol can also be made via the syngas route, e.g. by oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyloxalate and its subsequent hydrogenation.
- oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyloxalate and its subsequent hydrogenation e.g. by oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyloxalate and its subsequent hydrogenation.
- the MEG used contains less than 100 ppm of sulfur. More preferably, the MEG used contains less than 20 ppm of sulfur, most preferably less than 2 ppm of sulfur. Ideally, the used MEG contains no sulfur. It is therefore advantageous to work up the freshly used MEG prior to introduction into the reaction part in such a way that any sulfur present is separated off. For this purpose, it is possible to initiate fresh MEG instead of directly into the MEG conversion (step 1), first in step b) or step 2 or step a), preferably step b), and after the separation into step b) into the MEG reaction. Implementation (Level 1).
- the rectification in the presence of amines not only optionally separates the high boilers present in the fresh MEG, but also optionally contained sulfur compounds, such as sulfides, sulfites, mercaptans or thiols, by reaction or entrainment with the basic amines Form adducts (high boilers).
- sulfur compounds such as sulfides, sulfites, mercaptans or thiols

- stage 1) is first introduced into stage 2 or preferably into stage b) prior to introduction into stage 1)
- stage b) is introduced into stage 1
- the coupling of the MEG reaction (stage 1) with stage b) described in this embodiment thus enables the use of MEG, which has no fiber quality, since it was surprisingly found that the sulfur content in stage b) can be lowered.
